Benchmark Metrics

Risk Parity PDOS has an annualized alpha of 5.04%, beta of 0.22, and R² of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 06, 2010.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (32.15%) than losses (15.59%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.22 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.32 this portfolio is largely uncorrelated with S&P 500 Index — low beta reflects independence, not downside protection. See the Volatility section for a true picture of this portfolio's risk.
  • R² of 0.32 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
